How Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Was Born in Orlando
Trevor Nash spent years watching Orlando homeowners get the same tired story. A contractor would show up late, or not at all. The price quoted on Tuesday became a different price on Thursday. And when the work was done, the punch list never got finished. He saw it happen to good people in Pine Hills, in Winter Garden, in Kissimmee. People who saved for years to redo a kitchen, only to feel like they’d been taken for a ride.
In 2004, Trevor decided Orlando deserved better. Not a new company from scratch, but the chance to bring Penhallow Remodeling’s way of doing things to this city. The Kingswell family built Penhallow on a simple idea: say the price before the work starts, show up when you said you would, and stand behind what you build. Trevor wanted that for Central Florida.
So he opened the Orlando branch. No billboards, no song and dance. Just a promise to do kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home remodels on a written price, covered by The Kingswell Guarantee. The first job he took was a kitchen in Deltona where another company had walked off mid-project. The homeowners were embarrassed to show him the half-finished cabinets. Trevor didn’t see embarrassment. He saw exactly why he was there.
Trevor Nash’s Personal Connection to the Construction Trade
The smell of fresh-cut lumber still stops Trevor mid-sentence. It takes him back to the first time he watched a framing crew work, the rhythm of hammers moving down a wall like a song. He was young, standing on the edge of a job site, and something clicked. Here was work you could see. At the end of the day, there was a wall where there had been nothing. That mattered to him then, and it matters now.
For more than a decade, that feeling has never gone away. He’s crawled under more Orlando houses than he can count, felt the specific humidity of a Florida crawl space in July, learned which neighborhoods have soils that shift and which have plumbing that holds. He’s pulled out cabinets installed by people who didn’t care and found the small, correct thing hiding behind the sloppy work. The tradesman who trained him used to say the same thing before every job: measure twice, and mean it. Trevor still hears that voice every morning.
What gets him out of bed isn’t the business. It’s the moment a homeowner walks into a finished kitchen for the first time and goes quiet. Not because they’re disappointed. Because they’re looking at something they had only imagined, and now it’s real, and it’s theirs. If Trevor weren’t doing this, he’d probably still be building something. A deck. A shed. A table. He can’t not build.
Meet Trevor Nash – The Person Behind Every Job
Trevor Nash is the Owner & Founder of Penhallow Remodeling Orlando. He’s been in the construction trade for more than a decade, learning every part of a remodel from the ground up: framing, drywall, plumbing, flooring, finish work. The kind of experience that comes from doing the job, not just reading about it.
What separates Trevor from a corporate franchise technician is simple. He’s here. He walks the job sites. He knows Orlando’s building quirks, from the older foundations in Azalea Park to the newer builds in Hunters Creek. When he’s not working, you’ll find him fishing the lakes around Sanford or restoring old furniture in his garage. He hates a crooked cabinet door the way some people hate bad traffic. It’s personal.
His commitment is direct: if his name is on the job, he treats your home like it’s his own. That’s not a slogan. It’s how he works.
Our Promise to Orlando Homeowners
Every location of Penhallow Remodeling follows The Kingswell Way. It’s five rules, and they’re not complicated.
Say the price before the work. You get a written price before any work starts. Not an estimate that drifts. A price. If you wonder what something will cost, we tell you in writing.
Show up in the window we gave. We give you a real arrival window and we keep it. If something changes, you hear from us before the window closes.
Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Remodeling is messy. Your house doesn’t have to be. We clean up at the end of every day.
Put the guarantee in writing. The Kingswell Guarantee covers every job. You’ll see it on paper before we start.
Come back if it fails. If something we built fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the whole promise.
Those five rules are non-negotiable. Trevor wouldn’t have brought Penhallow Remodeling to Orlando if they were.
Our Credentials
Every pro working under the Penhallow Remodeling Orlando name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires.
- State-licensed: Our professionals carry the credentials Florida requires for construction and remodeling work.
- Insured & bonded: Homeowners are protected against property damage and unfinished work.
- Local experience: Trevor Nash and the local team know Orlando building codes, permitting, and the realities of Florida construction.
- Strong local reputation: Homeowners across Orlando, Kissimmee, and the surrounding communities trust us with their remodels because we stand behind every job in writing.
Here’s why each of those matters. A license means the person in your home is accountable to the state. Insurance means you’re not on the hook if something goes wrong. Local experience means your remodel fits Orlando, not a template from somewhere else. And a written guarantee means the work doesn’t end when the check clears. It ends when you’re satisfied.
Rooted in Orlando
Penhallow Remodeling Orlando doesn’t pretend to be from every town. This branch is an independent local business that agreed to work to The Kingswell Guarantee. We know the neighborhoods because we work in them: the bungalows of College Park, the lakeside homes of Sanford, the family neighborhoods of Kissimmee and St. Cloud. We know how Orlando’s humidity moves through a house and what that means for cabinetry and drywall. We choose our materials for this climate, not a catalog. We’re here, we’re staying, and we answer the phone from Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
